Giorgio launches world’s first Armani hotel

Legendary Italian fashion designer Giorgio Armani opened the
world's first Armani hotel this week in the world's tallest
building: the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.

The luxury 160-room hotel - which was personally designed by
Armani himself - occupies the fifth to eighth levels of the
towering skyscraper, as well as levels 38 and 39.

Each room has been elegantly decorated to reflect Armani's
signature minimalist style, with custom fabrics draping the walls,
green Brazilian bamboo marble making a statement in the bathrooms,
and precious Japanese tatami wood lining the floors.

Eight unique restaurants now serve gourmet international cuisine
to a cosmopolitan crowd of jet-setting guests, while the world's
first in-hotel Armani/Spa provides fully-tailored bespoke
treatments in a calm and achingly cool environment. There is also
an Armani custom-made sweet shop, an Armani florist and an art
gallery.

Those that wish to stay in the tower long-term - and have the
money to burn - can rent out one of the Armani Residences:
the one- and two-bedroom apartments feature state-of-the-art
contour lighting, bespoke Armani Casa furniture and ultra-rare
materials to create the ultimate luxury living space for its
residents.

Not for the faint of heart, a night's stay at the Giorgio Armani
Hotel starts from a whopping £2,000. For more information, and to
